G. 0. P. LASHES JIBES AT EARLY I HOOVERRECORD Leaders Strike Out in Campaign of Reply at Attacks on President. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Preti Staff Carreinondent WASHINGTON. Feb. 18.—Administration leaders, resenting criticism of President Herbert Hoover’s earlier career, are striking out on a campaign of reply that gives an amazing start to this year’s presidential battle. Much literature, part of it anonymous, has been circulating through the country. It largely concerns Mr. Hoover's earlier business career. Much of it so obviously is prejudiced that it tends to defeat its own purpose. That usually is the case with such attacks. It is an old political rule that the best thing to do is to ignore personal criticisms and slanders, on the theory that they nullify themselves by the resentment they cause. Seek to Smash Criticisms Nevertheless, Republican leaders have chosen to bring the whole business out into the open in an effort to smash it before the summer campaign. This is the reason the dominant note in recent speeches by Republican leaders ha*- been on the theme that an attempt is being made to malign and break down confidence in the President of the United States. A square of administration Republican speakers headed by Senator James E. Watson, Republican senate leader, took this theme in Lincoln day addresses a week ago. Detailed defenses of Mr. Hoover are being printed in the Congressional Record. They probably will be sent out broadcast as campaign literature. This activity has become so pronounced that it has drawn a retort from Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic senate leader. He told the senate this week that criticisms of Mr. Hoover largely have come from members of the Republican party. Much Irony In Situation The situation is packed with irony. This barrrage of criticism is laid down against a President who feels the cruelty of it more acutely probably than would any other public man. Senator Watson, for instance, has more than once laughed off incidents which would have caused Mr. Hoover nights of worry. This onslaught, curiously, comes at this late stage after Mr. Hoover was left practically untouched in the 1928 campaign while he was so decisively defeating a candidate who was the victim of one of the most cruel campaigns of personalities in modem politics. Just Another Democratic Victory OBERLIN, 0., Feb. 18.—This is another tough one for the G. O. P. Students of Oberlin college, shattering a sixty-eight-year-old tradition, voted to hold a mock Democratic convention instead of the customary Republican this year.

SEVEN-YEAR ITCH ENDED The Itch (scabies) is highly contagious and if not treated it will continue for life. It is not a blood disease, but is caused by the itchmite which burrows and forms torturous galleries within the skin. The itch-mite spreads rapidly and Is immune to ordinary treatments. The Psoric Institute has perfected a simple treatment called ’EXSORA” that kills the itch-mite almost instantly and rids you of your trouble in three days.

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN ANNOUNCEMENT of the resignation of M. Bert Thurman as Republican national committeeman from Indiana may be expected within the next few days, it was learned authoritatively today. Thurman is in Washington to confer with Senator James E. Watson concerning selection of a successor. As soon as this difficulty is ironed out, he will announce his resignation simultaneously with the Issuance of his formal declaration for the Republican nomination for Governor. There is little doubt that “Uncle Bert” would have made his decision several weeks ago if he had been assured that ex-Govemor James P. Goodrich would not be named to fill the vacancy. From all indications, Thurman wants George Ball, Muncie millionaire manufacturer and philanthropist, to be the new national committeeman, but if he is not promised that Ball or someone similarly friendly is named, Bert will not resign and thus leave his flank unprotected. M * K Enmity between Goodrich and the Thurman forces has been open and rife for many years. There is little doubt in any one’s mind that the former Governor is out looking about for a strong figure to pit against Bert for the Governor nomination, and the dope was that Goodrich has been thinking of Emmett Branch of Martinsville, former Lieutenant-Governor and successor to McCray, or Frederick Landis, Logansport editor and radio columnist. The late George Lockwood, Muncie publisher, was in the preferred position. Therefore, if Goodrich would be appointed to the national committee post, Thurman would have an enemy amply able to harm him located in an important strategic position. mum Watson, of course also is an ancient enemy of Goodrich and never would, of his own volition, select him to fill the vacancy, but Governor Jim is the big shot with Hoover and pressure from the White House might cause the senator to change his mind. Goodrich has been out busily engaged in pledging delegates to Hoover and seeking to start a cam-

Injuries in a lovers’ quarrel that nearly cost her life when she wasshot five times formed the basis today for the suit of Mrs. Lola R. Wyatt, 33, of Bridgeport, against pawn shop operators. Mrs. Wyatt seeks $25,000 from Phillip and Max H. Sachs, pawn shop operators, charging they sold a revolver to her sweetheart, Wesley Reed, 37, of 136 North Alabama street. In the suit, filed in superior court two, Mrs. Wyatt charged the operators sold the firearm without waiting twenty-four hours after notice was given police of the intended sale. Reed attempted suicide after the shooting, which occurred in an alley near the Claypool, Oct. 16, 1931. Reed recently was sentenced to the Indiana state prison hospital at Michigan City for mental treatment. Don’t Wake Up Nights Physic the Bladder With Juniper Oil.

tion of a successor to Thurman will rest with Senator Watson. Thurman said today that he would abide by the decision of the veteran Indiana senator, but Indicated that he would resist the appointment of a committeeman openly antagonistic to himself. “I think the next committeeman should be a true Jim Watson Republican,’ said Thurman, “a man who will have no favorites among the candidates seeking indorsement of the Republican convention. “I think it 1s my duty to urge that my successor be a man who will be an active and aggressive leader in the campaign this fall.” Thurman refused to name his preference as the next committeeman, but said that he hoped to have the problem ironed out before leaving Washington. Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, chairman of the Republican national committee, will name Thurman’s successor, but it is conceded that Fess will be guided by Watson’s recommendation.

New Kind of Salts Taking Country By Storm They revitalize the System—lnduce Youthful Activity —Keep Body In Splendid Condition—Free From Fat.

It doesn’t take long for Americans to wake up to a good thing—only 3 years ago Kruschen Salts were introduced into this country and the welcome news of their superior goodness traveled so fast that at- one time the supply was many carloads behind the demand. All of which goes to prove that Americans know good salts when they take them and want their friends to benefit also. Unlike most salts Kruschen isn’t simply a laxative—if that’s all you want any ol<J kind of salts with any kind of a label will do—but is that all you want? When you take Kruschen Salts you not only stimulate your bowels, liver and kidneys to function naturally, but you supply every internal organ, nerve and fibre in the body with helpful minerals.
